2400 AD: Several world leaders come together to announce the Millennium Project. A plan to upgrade the world electrical and fuel systems and to make living easier. Japanese company Titus Industries offers to build solar power systems in a couple locations on the globe.

2405 AD: Titus Industries begins construction of a large tower, with the permission of the Chinese, in central China. The tower would reach as high as 35000 feet with several solar receptors and a large solar receiver antenna.

2407 AD: The Solar Tower nears 50% completion but the United Nations, back in the USA, questions the range of the tower and puts in an order for a second tower further west.

2412 AD: The Asian Solar Tower is completed and upgrades to power plants and other electrical systems begin.

2414 AD: Due to the location needed for the second tower, a large artificial island is constructed, pushing back the estimated date for the Western Hemispheres upgrades.

2415 AD: Because of the first tower being constructed on Chinese ground, the rest of the Asian countries worry about how power will be distributed. A solution to the problem arises when Japanese politician Haru Hinohara suggests forming a new government body. While skeptical about the merger that is offered, many Asian countries see the plausibility in forming a new government to facilitate better.

2415 AD, September 12: Several countries such as China, Japan, India and Indonesia agree to the merger and formally shape their new borders and the U.N officially recognizes the new government of the Eastern Reform League. While each country would still have its own laws, the ERL government would now make the decisions.

2423 AD: The artificial island for the second Solar Tower is complete and the tower itself nears 67% completion. Seeing the same problem with power distribution as the ERL did, the US proposes a merger with several countries in order to prevent too many problems. The USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico, Germany and several other smaller countries agree to form up. Many small conditions are made by some of the governments and are agreed upon. The merger completes later in the year and the United Alliance officially emerges.

2426 AD: The second Solar Tower is completed and the upgrades to power plants and electrical systems begin.

2427 AD: Several Mediterranean countries request a tower as well. Titus Industries accepts the request.

2428 AD, March 4: The construction of the tower base has begun and 800 feet has been cleared. Several anti-reformist groups within the Middle Eastern area object to the idea of the Solar Tower and attack it. The United Alliance dispatches defensive forces to protect the tower, but it is too late and the tower is deemed unusable by the company. Fearing for the loss of billions of dollars in supplies, Titus Industries declines any requests within the Middle East or Mediterranean areas.

The United Alliance sends fossil fuel supplies to the Middle East as an apology for not being able to defend the tower.

2431 AD: With the two Solar Towers active, many power plants are converted to help distribute the solar power.

2435 AD: Titus Industries introduces to both the Reform League and the Alliance, a large island platform with several large arching structures pointing up. The island is officially named Gibraltar Space Port and the six arching structures, Mass Drivers. This opens the Millennium Project to the construction of space colonies.

2437 AD: Titus Industries begins sending supplies to the moon, the first place they plan to colonize. The construction of a base would be prioritized, as it would give them a place to send the supplies.

2348 AD: The Moon Base is completed and construction of the underground domed city has already commenced Nearing 42% percent completion.

2455 AD: The moon city is completed and officially named Ptolomaios City. The city begins receiving immigrants but construction on several smaller connected dome areas continues.

2455 AD, May 15: Construction on the first space colony begins at L5. Using several groups and the newly developed worker pod, they split into two large groups and begin construction of two colonies instead of one, the second being at L4.

2462 AD: Both Colonies near 44% completion, both the League and the Alliance both agree to take a colony, but would not discriminate on what colony citizens would choose.

2475 AD: Both colonies are completed, the ERLs Alafia and the Alliance’s Bertrum.



Animus Exodus 001: With humanity no longer confined to mother Earth, the Animus Exodus Calendar is officially adopted and a new Era begins. (This is two years following 2375 AD)

002 AE: Construction of the next colony at L3 begins; Titus Industries sends a work force twice as large in order to complete two new colonies at L3.

010 AE: One of the colonies nears 85% completion while the second colony sits at 51%. During construction, a large meteor group is spotted by observing astronomers; the meteors are determined to be on a drift course for the L3 area. The large meteors are scheduled to arrive in 12 days.

010 AE, March 1: A set of shuttles repurposed with large missile launchers is sent to L3. When the meteors arrive, they are destroyed by the missiles launched from the repurposed shuttles. This incident sparks talks within the Alliance government and a company by the name of Axon Incorporated is placed with a job on making ships to defend the colonies from problems like these.

021 AE: L3 Colony Calico is completed, L3 colony Bestalin is completed later in the year. The colonies are claimed by the ERL, but the Alliance begins to claim that that was not fair. Using the fact that Titus is a Japanese based company in their territory, the Alliance government has no choice but to back down.

022 AE: The United Alliance obtains the company Advanced Innovation Inc. as their space colony building company. A new colony is set to be constructed at L2, behind the moon.

022 AE, July 12: The ERL government decides that it would be best that the Earth Sphere and the colonies merger under their Flag. The United Alliance declines as respectfully as they can, but the ERL secretly plans to force a merger in the even political tactics fail.

022 AE, September 15: The ERL continues to pressure the Alliance into becoming one governing body. With political talks failing, the ERL sends their plan into motion.

022 AE, December 5: The ERL begins secretly transporting supplies to an under construction space fortress between L3 and L4.

023 AE: The ERL brings in a large Asteroid and begins hollowing it out in order to build a space construction dock.

024 AE: The ERL begins construction of a warship within their newly obtained dock. Meanwhile, on Earth, ERL forces begin occupying Asian countries and over throwing governments. The United Alliance learns of these attacks and begins strengthening its borders for any attacks. Political Talks also begin.

025 AE: Titus Industries begins production on a prototype robotic frame. The United Alliance sends a spy into Japan and discovers both the location of the space station Grendel and the Warship construction dock. The mobile suit plans are also discovered and copied. Axon Incorporated is given these mobile suit plans and begins development of its own robotic frames.

(This is the beginning of mobile suit development)

026 AE: The United Alliance secretly begins construction of their own warship dock and base on the far side of the moon. Meanwhile Axon Corporation produces its prototype robotic frame.

029 AE: The Alliance has completed its base and warship dock, a warship blueprint is put into development.

The Eastern Reform League completes the space warship Amadeus class, more ships are expected.

030 AE: The Alliances L2 colony Salaam is completed and civilians begin moving in. The Alliance prepares several repurposed missile shuttles and stage an over throw of the Leagues control over Ptolomaios City. This battle continues as a stalemate for six days.

030 AE, May 4: The ERL completes its prototype mobile suit, the MGM-01X Diver P, P for prototype. During day five of the Ptolomaios Conflict, Three Diver units are used to break the stalemate. The following day, the United Alliance withdraws its forces from the City.

032 AE: The Diver P is Mass produced into the MGM-01S Diver, along with swappable backpacks for space and atmospheric use. The Diver becomes a problem for the United Alliance and they rush to try and produce a mobile suit of their own.

032 AE, April 2: The United Alliance Prototypes the SMA-101E Trooper, E for Experimental; Ten units are made.

032 AE, April 21: The ERL attempts to move in on Nepal, they mission to setup a new base there is intercepted by the United Alliance. Several Diver units are present during the battle, four of the ten Troopers arrive at the battle the next day and take the ERL by surprise. A Trooper is heavily damaged in the fighting and forced to be abandoned. Even with the Troopers present, the battle is won by the ERL and Odin Base is later established.
Even with the battle lost, the United Alliance begins mass producing their Trooper with the model number changed to SMA-101.

034 AE: The United Alliance deploys two newly constructed warships designated the Eturia Class ships. Also capable of carrying 4 troopers outfitted for space battle, the two ships later come into contact with two Amadeus class ships and a small mobile suit battle ensues. Both sides receive extensive damage, but oddly enough, no units are lost.

Using the Deimos Moon base as a staging area for another attempt at Ptolomaios city, the United Alliance comes out as victorious after another 4 day battle for control of the city. However, because of the constant fighting, the city decides to become neutral and immediately locks its harbors. The United Alliance accepts the blame and agrees to allow the city to go its own way.

037 AE: The ERL attempts to take control of Salaam at L2. The United Alliance defends its colony but is taken by surprise when the RLM fleet threatens them with a nuke. The United Alliance calls them out on a bluff, but the colony is lost when the nuke strikes the harbor. With the colony lost, the ERL leaves the colony to rot, but later the Alliance agrees to construct a couple more colonies at L2.

040 AE: Colony construction has begun at L2, the new colonies are expected to be done by 070 AE at the latest. Meanwhile, the Alliance launches the new Antripater Class ship and begins placing defenses near Colony Bertrum.

043 AE: The Alliance Establishes space fortress Amaya, the Fortress becomes the Alliances main space HQ.

050 AE: L2 Colony Elsie is complete and Colony Eltar nears 95% completion. He Alliance is out to stop the League, but will they be able too? The race is on to either control or liberate the Earth Sphere.

Australian Events

2040 AD: Ongoing rhetoric between the Conservative Liberal Party and Liberal Labour Party reaches an all time his as elections draw near. Australian citizens, tired from nearly 30 years of the same garbage, react in typical Aussie fashion, with surprising amounts of alcohol and little violence, turning up to the polling booths and casting their votes… resulting in a hung government.

2042 AD: After six consecutive elections no government is formed and an emergency Acting Government is formed by order of the Queen of England before anarchy can take hold. The Acting Government if formed with an Independent as PM and the other positions divided equally among the Big Four parties, Liberal, Labour, Greens and Australian Sex Party.

2046 AD: Election held, Greens win majority and Australian Sex Party form opposition party. Labour and Liberal parties become minorities.

2047 AD: Life goes on as usual in Australia

2400 AD: ASP lead Australia opts out of Millennium Plan as existing national plans to expand wind, solar and hydro electric generation plants will provide enough power for the entire nation for the next 200 years and make use of Australia’s vast barren plains.

2423 AD: Foundation of UA results in need for Australia renegotiate old treaties with it’s old allies. Greens lead government opts to attempt to forge new defence treaties with the ERL as well. UA agrees to provide next generation of fighters and a non-aggression treaty but won’t provide any support beyond that. ERL agrees to non-aggression treaty and open trade but no military aid unless Australia joins the ERL, Australia declines joining.

2424 AD: Many foreign businesses on Australian soil cut ties with parent companies during a period of increased Australian Nationalism. Holden Engineering, formerly a subsidiary of General Motors, requests permission to study the latest fighters from the UA.

2427 AD: Holden rolls out the Whitebelly fighter, the first All-Australian fighter jet perfectly suited to the vast distances the jets have to patrol. Other companies start developing new equipment for the Australian military, effectively ending the nation’s reliance on foreign equipment.

2433 AD: Holden rolls out the Squaretail fighter which out performs the Whitebelly in every way. Whitebellys mothballed in favour of Squaretails.

2440 AD: Australian Sex Party government devises way to maintain a strong defence force while reducing military spending. Majority of Australian military converted to PMCs who immediately start taking jobs around the word bringing in a good income. Dedicated military forces now stationed only at key facilities.

2450 AD: Jindalee radar network upgraded, extending range as far as Siberia and low Earth orbit and increasing sensitivity to the point stealth technology is useless (Fun Fact: the existing system as of 2012 can detect Stealth Bombers clear as day).

2452 AD: Australian Sex Party government and Greens opposition meet with ERL and UA to devise treaties to ensure the liberty and fair treatment of Australian PMCs working for both factions. UA demands access to Jindalee in exchange for their agreement but Australia refuses and the UA withdraws from the talks. ERL agrees to show extra lenience to Australian PMCs and to not attempt to steal Australian technology, in exchange Australian PMCs will charge a reduced price and Australia will not provide any intel to the UA, they call the treaty the AERL treaty.

Animus Exodus 001: Woomera Test Range reveals completed Project SPARTAN, unit immediately enters mass production and all Australian foot soldiers, regular and PMC alike, are equipped with the powered armour suits.

002 AE: SPARTAN Kai completed and mass produced for use by pilots.

004 AE: Bunyip Battle Tank rolled out.

005 AE: Jindalee upgraded again, increasing vertical sensitivity but not horizontal range. Anything directly above Australia up to 300,000 feet now clearly visible. Hoop Snake Anti-Meteor system constructed around Jindalee to double as a defensive array since it can lay an artillery barrage as far as Korea.

010 AE: Pine Gap facility upgraded and Nurrungar facility reactivated with state-of-the-art technology. Pine Gap focuses on intercepting UA satellite communications while Nurrengar intercepts the ERL. PMC income allows expanded military presence.

015 AE: Holden teams up with small business Shrike Electronics to create the Model M Squaretail.

020 - 022 AE: A kitchenware company attempts to improve on the design of the FRED (Field Ration Eating Device) and barely manage it. While retaining the bottle opener and can opener the spoon portion was altered into a short-toothed spork with a jagged edge on one side. It is deemed impossible to improve it further.

030 AE: Resource satellite is accidently deorbited and recovery operations fail. It is detected on path towards Sydney, Australia. Hoop Snake system completely annihilates the satellite and the debris burns up on reentry. ERL and UA are alarmed at the revelation but are reluctant to do anything about it since Australia is steadfastly Neutral in all official capacities and only acted in self defence.

ERL admits fault for losing control of the satellite but Australia insists on holding the reparations as a favour.

042 AE: As ERL rolls out the Raven Australia calls in the favour it’s owed, acquiring one of the new Ravens for itself.

043 AE: Model Y Squaretail rolled out with all round improved performance and increase payload capacity over previous models.

045 AE: Holden Engineering and Shrike Electronics rollout the new ADAF-01 Wedgetail. Resembling the Raven as much as the Squaretail it features a combination of jet and Mobile Suit technologies to great the world’s most versatile Aerospace fighter. Able to fly rings around anything else in the sky and carry more missiles then the Squaretail it is set to replace the older machine.

Simultaneously the Bunyip Mark 2 Battle Tank is rolled out, it’s main gun being a linear cannon crafted to fire Burst warheads, with two coilguns serving as secondary weapons firing the same rounds as the Mark 1. In addition it uses a modified Wave Rider system to hover, making it the fastest tank in existence.

046 AE: Despite it’s current inability to produce Mobile Suits Australia is considered the single most powerful and technologically advanced independent military power in the world.

050 AE: Sketchy reports filter out of Australia to both major powers of new arms research being conducted by Australia and it’s PMCs.
